One gracious reader read and replied, “I was raped by a guy when I was 22 I would judge him and say he needs help…because he did. (He victimized) 5 other women…but he is and was aware of what he was doing so I wouldn’t feel sympathy.”

As someone who has never experienced a rape I cannot begin to grasp the depth of how that would affect a victim, all I can say is “Wow, thank you you for your humble willingness to add your perspective to our dialogue.”

The “dropout” whose pot-smoking parents never challenge him. The “skeeze” whose dad did more hopping than Frogger. The “gamer” whose parents never expected anything from him. The “slut” whose dad, step-dad, 2nd step-dad, and mom’s before all left.
